Dear Fashion Kitty, Accessorizing a Maxi Dress

I got this bohemian looking dress and I’m not sure how to accessorize it. Its long, maxi dress in green and has flowers on top and bottom of it. I am 5’4 so I think I’m going to wear heels with it, so I don’t drown in the dress:)

And the other question I have is I got these adorable pink cheetah pep toe shoes, but I don’t really know what to wear them with. I wore it once with an all black outfit, but would like some more funky ideas.

For the maxi dress I would accessorize with caution. The dress is long and has a lot of detailing with the flower appliques. I would go with a fun floppy sun hat, super-small stud earrings, and a fun ring. For the shoes, if you need to add height — do it with a wedge and if you don’t, go for a nice flat sandal.

On to the shoes …You don’t have to wear all black but I wouldn’t really introduce a lot of color. The first thing that popped into my mind was a pair of acid was skinny jeans, a loose white v-neck tee, and a fun belt. The outfit has a little something going on, but it still lets the shoe be the star.
